Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival 2025
October 10 @ 10:00 am - October 13 @ 5:00 pm
The Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival returns this fall, running from Friday, October 10 through Monday, October 13 at Ball’s Falls Conservation Area. A Niagara tradition for more than 50 years, the festival continues to be one of the region’s most anticipated autumn events.
The four-day celebration offers something for every age and interest. Children can enjoy free face-painting, mini train rides, and live birds-of-prey shows. Adults will appreciate browsing more than 150 vendors in the artisan market, sampling local food, craft beer, and wine, and relaxing to live music on the main stage.
Families can step back in time while exploring the 1800s heritage village, tour one of Ontario’s oldest operating gristmills, or join a guided nature hike to take in the brilliant fall foliage that surrounds the site.
